TRAFFIC SAFET~ COMMISSION
COMMISSION REPORT OF: September B, 1986
LOCATION: Madison Street and Roosevelt Street
INITIATED BY: Ms. Delores Becker, 2646 Madison Street
Ms. Trudy McKeel, 2770 Madison Street
Ms. Betty Huston, 2631 Roosevelt Street
PROBLEM AS STATED BY REQUESTOR:
ITEM NO.D-J
Ms. Becker has written a letter about the parking situation
on Madison Street (attached). Ms. McKeel called about
vehicles parking on Madison Street that make it difficult for
trash trucks to pick up trash containers placed along the
curb. Ms. Huston complained about cars being parked on
Roosevelt Street for long periods of time without being moved
and limiting the ability of street sweepers to sweep the
street.
BACKGROUND:
Title 10 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code restricts parking for
72 or more consecutive hours on a public street, otherwise
the Police Department can have the vehicle removed.
Therefor, parking for a period less than 72 consecutive hours
is legal on Madison and Roosevelt Street, unless designated
otherwise by signs. The Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency has
commissioned an Economic, Circulation and Design Study report
of the Carlsbad Redevelopment area. Madison and Roosevelt
Streets are located within Zone 1 of the parking study. The
draft report indicates that, in general, there is an adequate
supply of existing parking to meet existing demand.
Two-hour parking zones are utilized to ensure a large
turnover in available parking spaces to meet heavy demands.
They would be applicable in commercial areas or other high
use areas. The locations of the three complaints are in
areas of residential development.
The Utilities
installed two
hours of J and
and Maintenance Department has in the past
hour parking signs for the period between the
5 A.M., but these signs were immediately torn

ITEM NO.D-3
down. On
difficult
indicated
pickup due
occasion, cars parked on the street do make it
to sweep the street. Coast Waste Management has
that parked cars do not significantly affect trash
to their early hours of operation.
Staff believes a two-hour limit on parking in the residential
areas would cause a hardship to those living in the area and
present more problems than it would solve. Provided that no
cars are parked more than 72 consecutive hours, staff
believes additional parking regulations are not needed at
this time. The Police Department has a parking enforcement
officer in the budget for Fiscal Year 1986-87, which will
help with parking enforcement.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Police Department should continue to monitor the area for
violations of the City ordinance regarding cars parked on the
street. Staff will continue to monitor the area to see if
conditions change in the future that would require additional
parking restrictions.
NECESSARY COUNCIL ACTION:
An ordinance will be required for Council action if "No
Parking" signs are recommended.
